Using pitch framing as an argument is pretty ridiculous. If anything his game calling needs to be pointed out as the reason he's the real MVP and has been for years.. He is so far more valuable then either of the two he's up against and people in baseball know this. But MVP is more for the fans than anything, while it's nice to get I'm sure Buster won't care too much, maybe it gives him extra motivation to destroy people in the playoffs.. who knows.
